Making your bed can be a tedious task, but what if you could make it look like a hotel bed with just a few simple tricks? It all starts with the top sheet, and surprisingly, many of us have been putting it on the wrong way.
The typical bed consists of a fitted sheet, top sheet, and a quilt, comforter, or duvet. While making your bed may not require rocket science, there are some clever hacks that can make a big difference. One of these hacks involves putting the top sheet on inside out, or rather, with the patterned side facing downward.
This may seem counterintuitive, but it makes sense when you fold the top sheet over the duvet or quilt. The patterned side will be visible, creating a polished look. According to Sullivan May of Southern Living, the key is to fold the top sheet down an inch or two over the top of your quilt, and then fold it over one more time.
This simple technique can transform your bedroom and make your bed look like it was made by a professional. To take it to the next level, consider using two pillows with pillowcases that match the sheet set, and two more pillows with pillowcases that match the quilt or duvet cover.
With these easy tips, you can say goodbye to the stress of making your bed and hello to a beautifully made bedroom. Thanks to Sullivan May’s expert advice, you can now create a hotel-like ambiance in your own home.
